I hope you'll welcome him, and also make use of his considerable expertise.
A few headlines:
* AWA2 has worked with AdWords for well above three years, and really knows the product well - so you're in good hands. I'm extremely pleased to have him post alongside me on this Forum - and suspect you will be too.
* In line with the tradition begun by GoogleGuy, which was then continued by me - AWA2 will always be the same person. There will not be a rotating team of folks behind the AWA2 nic. It's just one really busy guy who will post as his 'day job' allows. (In the interest of full disclosure, though, he is a different AWA2 than the one who stood in for me once when I was on vacation for a week - and who was kind enough to surrender the nic.)
* AWA2 and I will sort of play it by ear as to who posts to what - and when. But between the two of us, we are sure to post more often than I have been able to do on my own in recent weeks. Yes, I finally decided I could be big enough to share the fun. ;)
Now, as many of you will know, Monday is a holiday here in the US and both AWA2 and I will be away. However, I'll also be gone on Tuesday and Wednesday - and AWA2 will be watching over things and posting as much as his other responsibilities allow.
OK, I guess I'll stop running on. See you all on Thursday 6/01 - and please welcome AWA2 & treat him right come Tuesday, OK?
;) AWA
What, this forum too much to handle these days, AWA1?
Yep, that's it. I look in the mirror, and see that my hair is getting greyer and greyer - practically by the minute. :)
Actually, I wasn't pleased with the fact that I was able to spend less and less time reading and posting here, and jumped on the offer from a particularly qualified co-worker to assist.
(Along those lines, remind me to tell you a story sometime about "The two most frequently spoken words at AdWords." Heheh.)
And how come you're away til next January - that's some holiday! ;-)
Oops. I thought I had learned my lesson on this one long ago. Of course, I should have said "See you all Thursday June 1st." ;)
I recommend there by an AWA Europe who can speak to the particular needs of the UK & European community, and in their timezone.
That is a really interesting idea shorebreak. Let me think on that for awhile.
and SUCH a tremendous pleasure to meet you the other day...
Likewise, poster_boy!
